Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood?

Dumplings do it for me. They were nicely packaged and folded by my dad with all the raw ingredients from the flour wraps, leeks, cabbage, etc. from Chinatown. And his signature sauce made from soy, sesame oil, vinegar, parsely and whole* garlic chunks felt like home and warm comforting fire in the belly.
